To achieve this, Ostrit is trying to turn the support of the people away from King Foltest by portraying him incapable of protecting his people.

Ostrit’s ultimate goal is for Novigrad to rule over Temeria. While Geralt’s waits for the monster to appear, Lord Ostrit, a magnate from Novigrad, approaches him and tries to persuade him into leaving. Geralt thus spends the night at the King’s former castle, to confront the striga. King Foltest had escaped his daughter’s rampage by moving into a new castle. However, Foltest also shares that he is somewhat skeptical of the wizard’s words, and gives Geralt permission to kill the striga if she cannot be cured. Foltest shares that a wizard said, that if the striga is prevented from returning to her coffin, by the third crowing of the rooster, she would be cured, and return to human form. Geralt soon meets with King Foltest, who requests him to not harm but to cure his daughter if possible. The daughter of the siblings emerged out of the coffin as a striga and began its killing rampage. This was the case until seven years had passed. They were both laid to rest in a double coffin, near the castle where the couple lived. However, Adda along with the couple’s daughter passed away during labor. The monster’s origin begins with Foltest, the King of Temeria, who impregnated his sister Adda. Geralt comes to learn from Velerad, the origin of the monster he is to kill. Velerad begins by questioning Geralt about his actions but later seeks his assistance. His actions cause him to be taken to Velerad, the lord of the castle in Vizima.

The fight, unfortunately, ends with him claiming the lives of three men.

Geralt entered Vizima focused on vanquishing a monster, but shortly found himself in a bar brawl. Geralt deciding to take up the job enters the town of Vizima. Geralt notices a poster requesting the services of a veteran monster hunter.
